I want to take a moment today to remind you of something deeply important. If you need some time to read this, find a quiet place and take the two minutes you'll need to soak in every word, mama. Because this is for you. You've been given a gift. It is grace for the days when you shrug your shoulders. Grace for when your heart feels…

Let’s face it, we’ve all been critical of who we are. It is hard sometimes to feel confident if you are living in chaos. Some female entrepreneurs are balancing young families and careers we love. Some are just trying to get through each day making the people around us happy. There isn’t usually time for ourselves. We don't make getting our…

I’m a newborn and family photographer, using natural light during my sessions here in the studio and on location.  That means during your session there are no light stands, no waiting between shutter clicks, just you and your newborn in a room full of beautiful light.  There are a handful of reasons I choose to work with natural light…

Little one, you are so tiny but so perfect. I have never seen anything more amazing than you. You are so much joy cramped into the tiniest, little human. As soon as you came into this world, I made sure you had ten fingers and ten toes. Now that you're growing more and more every day, I want to freeze this moment. This moment right here…

I get a lot of questions about how things work once you’ve booked a session, so I’ve decided to do a blog post on it so you can get a better idea of what goes on behind the scenes here at Reflections of Life. Knowing when your photographer is going to provide you with images or portraits is an important part of the process.  I…

Breathe in deep today. You are loved. Let all the stresses of the day work their way out as you breathe in the reality that you are loved by all of heaven. I’m talking to all the mamas, all the littles, all the husbands, all of you. Your life is valuable. It matters. It counts. You are seen in your rising and in your falling. No matter how fast you run, you’ll never…

Sometimes I wonder, when you look at me what you see? And when you close your eyes, what it is that you dream about? I wonder what it is that you’re seeing and what is making you smile as you sleep. I wonder about those things that have you bothered and all those things that pull you out of your slumber. Baby, I wonder what it is that you…

Never forget the feeling…the feeling of fire that roared through your heart when you found out you were expecting. Never forget the feeling of pure joy that soared across your husband’s face when you whispered it to him, or the feeling of bliss when you felt her kick for the very first time. Never forget the feeling of anticipation as you prepared…

Capturing your beauty and your love for one another is my honour. Whether we work together in a maternity, newborn or family shoot, I believe in real people and natural moments. As we work together, we'll create you images that celebrate your beauty and your connection with one another. That celebration starts in my studio and…

When I get to work with parents, a family or siblings to capture images of them, the first and my favourite thing to look for is their connection. It is connection that not only makes an image stand out, but it is also is the very substance of our lives. Without connection, we are left hungry and wanting, but with connection, we are left satisfied and fulfilled…

Are you finding now, that as a parent, date nights are these elusive things that you never have time for? Now that you have your wonderful children, all your time and energy goes into them. At the end of the day, you and your spouse are exhausted and end up going to bed at the same time as your kids.

And the question on your lips over time might be, “But what am I? But who am I?” Baby, all of you can be contained in one word. You are beautiful. You are beautiful in every single way. You are beautiful in your coming and in your going. You are beautiful as you rest and as you play. You are beautiful in your giggle and your curious eyes…
